August 19, 2025 // Franchising.com // PASADENA, Calif. - Dog Haus will soon make its Florida debut. The concept has signed an area development agreement with seasoned restaurant franchisees Livingston and Terri Chatman, marking the brand’s first expansion into the state.

Livingston — a notable University of Florida basketball alumnus — and his wife, Terri, bring more than 20 years of experience in franchising multiple restaurant concepts.
